Participating nations
The teams were announced by the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) in March 2023.[3][4] The draw took place on 8 August 2023.[5] However, Lebanon later pulled out of the tournament due to the 2026 World Cup qualifying draws putting them in the same group with Palestine, later replaced by Tajikistan.[6][7]
Due to the 2023 Israel–Hamas war, Palestine has decided to withdraw three days prior to the tournament.[8]
